Investigating the trans-membrane transport of HAIYPRH peptide-decorated nano-drugs†
Abstract
Transferrin (Tf) has been effectively used to promote the cellular uptake of HAIYPRH (T7) peptide-conjugated nano-drugs. In this study, the enhancing effect of Tf on T7-decorated nano-drug transport was investigated using force tracing and nano-indentation techniques at a single-particle/cell level. Furthermore, the results were confirmed by ensemble fluorescence imaging.
